My girlfriend bought me a few copies at a science fiction writer&#39;s convention, and i found another few a used shop. It&#39;s not exactly my kind of thing, but I was really happy to see the Moebius stuff and a few shorts by Charles Burns that I scanned and xeroxed to decorate my wall :)<br /><br />Which Maruo comic is in New Comics Anthology? It&#39;s his Michael Jackson &quot;BAD&quot; satire comic? That one is originally in New National Kid-- it&#39;s so stupid!!! Haha, but it&#39;s cool to see Maruo&#39;s first publication in English.<br /><br />I am gonna read all the issues of EPIC I found tonight. I&#39;m looking forward to it, especially the Go Nagai stuff. There is an early edition of Devilman that was released in English-- I think maybe a bilingual edition in Japan? I need to look it up again.<br /><br />Thanks for the research help--it&#39;s like nerd wikipedia up in here. I&#39;m gonna start digging around about that Food Comic from educomics tomorrow. Evan used to have a subscription to Mangajin, I think he has all the old issues back home somewhere. <br /><br />The funniest thing I found is the manga-inspired ninja comic SHURIKEN, from Victory Press in 1986. it is so shitty looking, but it&#39;s really heartfelt and sweet. There is a nice essay in the front by the creator about how much he loves Tezuka and Leiji Matsuomoto-- i&#39;ll scan it and post it before I leave for Japan next week.<br /><br />saludos,<br />Ryan!ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11212185086058139671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-71930537912843335332010-02-19T18:38:32.809-08:002010-02-19T18:38:32.809-08:00I love anthologies!!

Epic Illustrated is a great one to start!<br /><br />Taboo is very difficul to find and very expensive. The only number I would buy is the one were there is an interview to jodorowsky and he is talking about the dune movie. There is art of moebius that is incredible. There are numbers with neil gaiman and michael zulli doing sweeney todd. There is stuff from bissette, veitch, eddie campbell and others!!<br /><br />the checklist<br /><br />http://www.enjolrasworld.com/Richard%20Arndt/Taboo.htm<br /><br />more things!!<br /><br />The new comics anthology published by collier books, has the first story of suehiro maruo and it is from 1991.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/New-Comics-Anthology-Daniel-Clowes/dp/0020093616/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266632842&amp;sr=8-1<br /><br />Checking dreamland japan of fred schodt!!<br /><br />Food comics 1 of educomics has a story done by akira narita without sex!!<br /><br />Apart from this, I have found something very cool. They released a limited book of shigeru mizuki in english that included five great stories of him. This one was never sold publicly. It was in 1993, I know it doesnt have anything with this, but the info was cool!<br /><br />Mangajin are 69 numbers, I dont have the checklist or the exact date of release!!<br /><br />And that is all, I made an effort and keep my eyes open. Now I am really going to sleep!<br /><br />SaludosAzraelitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15764988580010785300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083453.post-76888004371288389432010-02-19T09:15:58.975-08:002010-02-19T09:15:58.975-08:00@Azraelito: Thanks for these great additions.

I wasn&#39;t familiar with Imagine before this--- As you can tell, European-inspired anthologies from the late-70s/early-80s is a big blind spot in my comics education, so this has been great for me to learn! I spent some time finding issues of the UK anthology TABOO last year (where Charles Burns, Jodorowsky, FROM HELL were published) but never this or EPIC before this conversation started.<br /><br />I&#39;m gonna try to slowly order and track down these things!<br /><br />I just added one more to the list Star*Reach #7 with confirmed Mukaide story. In the bibliography I linked to there you can see that person claiming that story as the first even manga in english :)<br /><br />Keep sharing the goodies as you find them!
